Former ESPN Analyst Steve Phillips Enters Rehab for Sex Addiction
Posted under Sex Addiction in the News on Monday, October 26th, 2009
Steve Phillips, the ESPN baseball analyst who was fired recently for having an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant, entered a rehab center for sex addiction treatment.
"This was planned in advance. It has nothing to do with him getting fired," agent Steve Lefkowitz said of Phillips entering rehab. "He’s trying to save his marriage."
Oren Yaniv of the Daily News writes that Brooke Hundley, the other party in the sordid three-night stand, also lost her ESPN job on Monday.
"Brooke Hundley is no longer working here," said ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz. "She was fired today." The Ithaca College graduate had worked in remote game production since Sept. 2008.
Phillips was notified that he had been fired from ESPN just minutes before the news was made public during Game 6 of the American League Champion Series.
After the affair ended in July, Hundley reportedly stalked Phillips’ son on Facebook, called his wife, Marni, and even wrote her a tawdry letter.
Marni Phillips filed for divorce Sept. 14. Her husband also admitted to bedding a Mets employee in 1998.
"Obviously, he has a problem and he fell off the wagon," Lefkowitz said. "Even though she filed for divorce, they’re trying to work it out. He’s trying to get better first."
